HAS THE GOVERNOR DRCIDBDs

A Story That Comes From a RePuted
 Reliable source That His ExcellencV
 Will Not Call Special SessiOn-What
 Representative Says About the Mat
 ter.
 It was learned last evening that Governor Lounsbury had decided not to call special session of the legislature to take action on the grade crossings matter.
 It is thought likely that the Governor will not make public his decision for few days yet. He has had the matter under careful consideration for llng time and the decis- ion he will make was reached only after a careful study of the matter from all points
 The gentleman who first learned of the Governors decision said last evening: "As near as I could learn from an intimate friend of the Governor His Excellency's principal reason for not calling 8 special session was that he hardly thought it was called for and then again the great expense was potent factor which led him to the conclusion"
 If the information above given is true it will create much discussion, favorable and otherwise, throughout the State, as the grade crossings matter has been the all-absorbing topic of late.
 The gentleman from whom the above was learned is a member of the House, who says that he saw the Governor Saturday, when the latter confded to him what his decision would be, but as he placed no restrictions on him he thought there was no harm done in making it public.

CHICAGO, June 24,-It is difficult to

Of the financial loss resulting from the
strike which the bricklayers declared
Of last night. The local loss in wages
can be closely computed, and Chicago

trade which has been sacrificed. Aside
from this, however, miners are idle In
Pennsylvania; eawmills and their OPP

thonsands Of men are thrown out Of
work In the stoue qusrries adjacent to
the city; the pressed brick trade Ia
affacted all over the United States
thousands OF dollars have been lost 70

Of manufacture, identified in any way
With the building trades, is direct
